When Aushalay Johnson started doing nails as a part-time job, she quickly fell in love.

"I was like, I want to be an entrepreneur," the Texas woman tells the Tyler Morning News.

"I had my mindset, so I'm just getting my feet wet and doing it enough to where you feel so confident."

Now she's a full-time nail technician, with plans to open a nail supply store in Tyler.

Johnson was one of five young people who took part in a Tyler nonprofit's eight-week Entrepreneur Training and Mentorship program, which taught them how to run a business, target audience, market research, how to build their credit, and more, per the Morning News.

"Now that the pandemic is seizing, we need to teach these people how to start and run a business the right way," Darice Anderson, executive director of 3-N-1 Trinity Services, which runs the program, tells the Morning News.

Among the lessons Johnson says she's learned: "I learned how to look more into detail when it comes to your business and your plan, to really get in there and see who you are serving."
